Though this roomy apartment is based in a seventeenth-century palazzo, rustic charm is not the only thing on offer. While there are plenty of characterful touches here (think vaulted ceilings, arched doorways, even an original spiral staircase made of Roman brick), what makes this home stand out are the twenty-first-century updates. We're talking a lofted glass mezzanine, a two-seater sauna in the downstairs bedroom (the perfect way to relax after a busy day exploring Rome), a separate fitness room with a treadmill for squeezing in workouts and a contemporary kitchen that makes cooking a breeze. There's even a shady patio – whether you're sipping espresso in the mornings or enjoying an alfresco dinner in the Italian sunshine, it's an excellent spot to unwind. And you couldn't ask for a better location to take it all in. Piazza Navona is just a three-minute stroll away, and other world-famous landmarks like the Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon are also within walking distance. Plus, you're surrounded by cafes, restaurants and a lively atmosphere, making this apartment a top-notch place to call home.

About Navona
Stretching from Piazza Navona to the river, the area is one of the most atmospheric in the city. The Piazza, with its Bernini statues and Borromini church, is the main draw, but there are any number of golden palazzos, many with inner courtyards to explore. The area is sliced in two by Corso Vittorio Emmanuele, one of Rome's most frenetic roads, but you can dive down the nearest sides street...

Host
This home is managed by Rubina
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Rubina and her team look after several apartments in Rome, and they’ve got your backs when it comes to finding the best place for your trip. Even if you’re not greeted by her personally, we were almost taken aback by how friendly her colleagues were. You’ll be in safe hands.
